After yoms of triumph iu the polit ical arena, Ato Kituf, boss of the Ke puulkiiu party in Sun Francisco, has gouo down to defeat. His followers had implicit confidence in his ability to load them to victory. Past successos made Ruef himself overconfident. But theilrsc of those conditions could only aid him in his battle and it is improb ablo that the second contributed iu any marked degree to his defeat. The time had come whon the best sic izenship of JSun Francisco was ablo to boo the iiooensity of cementing itself into a unit of opposition to "graft" rule in the municipality. Tho better element of a community is a power whoii united and thoroughly aroused. Buef, up to this titno, had kept the botler element divided and conditions had nover bofoio becomo deplorable enough to fully awaken it. When the pooplu saw tlio madness of his rule, its lawlessness and depravity, and the viciousui'HS of tho methods bo em ployed, they arose with one accord to sweep Abe Iiuef and his abandoned gang oil tho political checkerboards. This state and this county, only in lesser degree, has had ics Ruefs. The tide of an aroused publio souti niout, the tide that ougulfed the Kouf gang, is bearing toward thorn and is destined soon to sweep them from the scene of their debauchery and revelry. Will th. people, will this better element, which is iu real ity the great majority, in the hour of its triumph remember iho necessity of vigilant attention to public duty? Will it strive to retain tho ground it lias gained? At a time when the very prominont officials of lialf the states of the Union are threatened with or are undergoing prosocntions for mai foiisimco in ollieo, will the people of Oregon come to a determination that 110 man lacking in moral fitness shall become a publio servant? , Now is the time for every good cit izen to become a soldier in a worthy cause. Under tho present system of tho direct primary subterfuge, trick ery and chicanery aro not going to wiujielitical battles. Accuratcluiovl edgo respecting the issues and infor mation regarding eaudidatos will not bo, as heretofore, useless information. These will bo tho ' weapons asoi in the coming political battles. Letevory good citizen arm himself, for tho old plundering gang will make a deeper ate struggle beloro abandoning the JUld. PROTECT THE FISHERMAN. It i) an inherent right of settlers 1 along the banks of rivorB and streams to have thoBO waterways remain un changed by tho hand of man, except the change be niado with tho consent of all porsonsaffeoted. The state of Oregon should recognize this condi tion jind should koep streams open to the passage of the splendid fish that make their way fom the river to its very Bourco, Corporations and indi viduals that have placed impediments in the way should be required to make tho passage of the fluuy tribe as easy as it was before this age of commerce conquered the wilderness. Tho state itBolf should remove tho natural bar riers to their progress. Along this lino tho state had its duty to perform at the Falls hero, and this duty it has probably fulfilled. It is incumbent on a great corporation to perform its part of the task that de velopment of a vist water power has rendered more difficult than when the river (lowed in its natural course. Another large corporation has a sim ilar duly up tho iClaekanias. There are other instances that might be men tioned. It is to bo hoped that tho proper authorities will not permit the influ ence of large institutions to hinder or delay this work. Tho quicker it is understood by all that the state in tends to keep its waterways open to the passage of llsli, the easier will bo its task. AN IMPERATIVE DUTY. Everyman, woman and child should learn how to protect themselves from drowning if Reliance threw them into deep water. Learn how to swim and loarn without delay, for you cannot know.what day you may find yourself in dire need ofthis aquatic accom plishment. ' The news of the country each day brings tidings of drowuiugs, in many instances doath occurring in plnoid lakes or sluggish streams where a few scientific strokes would liavo permittod the unfortuuates to reach some point of safety. Fully 1)0 per cent of such deaths wore among those who did not know how to swim. Swimming is a delightful, invigor ating and healthful pastime, and a science easily mastered. Tho begin, ner should not enter the water wear ing a lifo preserver, but instead. should wade out waist deep and with confi dence given by shallow water, try the swimming stroke witli liutidi and feet parallel with the shore, so deep water will not be nususjjctingly encount ered. No speciiio directions can bo given for swimming, but a few weeks' prac tice should make a fairly good swim mor of the 'Lbeginner. Keep a cool head; don't bo venturesome; don't strike out too fust with your arms and legs. Learn to swim. It will give you pleasure and may save your life, Seattle Times. GOV. FOLK'S cigars; Governor Folk is reported to smoke twenty cigars a day. The curious will be impelled to institute a qualitative comparison witli Mr. Jerome's cigar ettes while reflecting on a possible re latiou of tobacco consumption to ca pability in reform oflieials. Tho con serious will have their criticism an swered by Lincoln's ' remarks about Grant's whiskey. The judicious may be left to grieve not at the indulgence but over the danger of "tobacco heart" incapacitating a man whoso public sorvice makes his health some thing more than a privato matter be tween him and his doctor, Except for that consideration the general public finds little ocensiou for concern about the personal habits of its official servants. How much a man smokes or drinks, whether he is straight-laced or a "good fellow," is his own affair. His efficiency is tho thing, and by that test almost solely he is tried. The question is not tho smoking of twenty oigars a day or various pack ages of cigarettes, but the ability aud capacity which may go witli devotiou to the weed, as in a Bismarck, or a Chamberlain, or in the ever-familiar oase of Grant. Cstacada Dank Opened. Tho Bank of Estacada has opened its doors for business in that thriving Clackamas county town and ib pro pared to do thegenoral banking busi ness of the new city. JT'lie bank build ing is a good one and tho interior is furnished in dark oak, which gives a pretty appearance. W. A. Heylmau willgact as cashier. His law office and library is in an adjoiuiiig room. The bunk lias a largo fireproof vault and a Security safe. Cures Sciatica. Rev. W. L. Riley, LL. D. , Obi', Now York, writes: After 15 days of excrcuiating pain from sciatic rheu matism, under various treatments, I was induced to try Ballard's Snow Liniment; tho first application giving my first relief and the fecond entire relief.

BENJ. Col. Benj. P. Hawkes, of 611 G street, S. W., Washington, D. C, is one of the three living comrades of General Grant In his cadet days at West Point. In a recent letter this venerable gentleman says of Peruna: "I have trted Peruna after having tried In vain other remedies for ca tarrh, and I can say wlttmut reservation that I never felt a symptom of re lief uniil I had given Peruna the simple trial that its advocates adviss.

Pe-ru-na is a Catarrhal Tonic Espe cially Adapted to tlie Declining Powers of Old Age. In old ao tho mucous membranes be come thickened and partly lose their function. This lends to partial loss of hearing, smell and taste, as well as digestive dis turbances. Peruna corrects all this by its speciiio operation on all the mucous membranes of the body. One bottle will convinco anyone. Onco used and Peruna becomes a life-long stand-by with old and young. Mr. Charles F.

I thank you for your valua ble instructions and advice. I first used Peruna fourtoen years ago when my health was so bad that I had no hope of staying many days, and after using it 1 began topiek up. It has helped meever since. I feel well, but will always have Peruna as my companion." Charles P. Benetsson. Suffered a Number of Years From Systemic Catarrh. Used Peruna as Last Resort, Now In Good Health. Mrs. E. S'-honcher, 22QJ4 S. Olive St. Los Angeles, Cal., president Girl's Friendly Society, also secretary South Los Angeles Travelers Club, writes: "I was for a number of years a suf ferer from systemic catarrh. I was very nervnus and run. down, my ap petite had failed me and my sleep was not restful. I had lost much in weight and looked like a very sick person. My physician advised a change of climate and the medicine I took only gave me temporary relief. "I tried a bottle of Peruna as a last resort and was greatly pleased to find that I felt much improved in a general way and then I bought several bottles more. "I am now in good health and have a good appetite and sleep well. I cannot say too much for Peruna and for what it has done for me." E. Sehoncher. Pe-ru-na Contains no Narcotics. One reason why Peruna has found permanent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Pe runais perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquir ing a drug habit. Peruna does not pro duce temporary results. It is permanent in its effect.
